Cristiano Ronaldo watched from the bench as Real Madrid lost to Roma in their latest pre-season friendly on Tuesday night.

Francesco Totti's strike after the break proved to be the difference in Texas as Carlo Ancelotti's side struggled without their talisman, even though they had world-record signing Gareth Bale on the pitch.

The match was interrupted towards the end by a pitch invasion as fans tried to meet their heroes and take 'selfies' with them.

He had one of Madrid's best chances
midway through the first half when he scuffed his shot wide from close
range. Just before the break, Pepe blazed an effort over the bar as the
Champions League winners pressed.

Ashley
Cole, meanwhile, lined up for Roma and believed he had reason to
complain early in the second half when he alleged Raul de Tomas had
stamped on him.
